Balloon Flight - Amazing and Suprising!
Yesterday was the day of the hot air ballooning Grand Prix in Winchcombe (The home of my Dad and Wife). We decided to get up really early this morning to go and see the balloons. We were pleasantly suprised by the number of balloons that were about and took lots of photos. This afternoon we got a suprise phone call from a woman at the Ballooning festival saying that they had 3 spare places on a balloon flight, would we like to go along? We jumped at the opportunity and without further ado went to the festival in our jumpers and coats (it’s cold at 2000 feet) and started helping them inflate the balloon.
It was one of the most enthralling things I’ve ever done and I don’t think I’ll ever forget today. Even if I do, here is some of the photo evidence that I can use to jog my memory.
